Generally speaking, talking only about the final hour Friday night, I'd say that Eric Gagne took about $1 million out of his 2005 salary and put it directly into Adrian Beltre's.
However wonderfully Gagne pitches for the remainder of the season, that potential for fallibility will remain on the record. And however much Beltre comes back down to earth, that potential for transcendency will remain as well.
